The Secret to Keeping Your Cool With Clients

Navigating Relationship Problems

Texts at all hours. Missing or late invoice payments. Indecisiveness. Bickering couples. At some point in your career as a designer, there’s going to be a tough client to deal with—but that doesn’t mean you need to lose your head (or your staff) in the process. Our newest Grow Your Business story, "How to Deal With Difficult Clients Without Losing Your Cool" contains pro-tested techniques for conquering communication with your next difficult client—and advice from experts on when it’s time to say adieu.

Still, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, which is why I also recommend diving into a few other key reads, like this helpful guide to vetting clients, this rundown of what to do when your clients don’t want their space photographed, and this excellent advice for landing repeat clients you’ll love.
